I have a structured data analysis course every Wednesday but I'm so busy all week long, I have so many things to think of that each time I have a hard time remembering what we did the week before.
Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

I am worn the fuck out.  Worked every day this week, spent 1 to 1.5 hrs every evening so far this week doing something house-related, plus spent 1-2 hrs every evening writing.  This evening was mowing the lawn, which may not sound like much of a chore, but mowing 1/2 acre with a push lawnmower going non-stop for an hour when much of the ground is uneven or at an angle is a bit tiring for an out-of-shape 40 year old.
It took an hour to write; I figured it'd take an hour to read.

Today reminded me just how much I hate group work...
My group has had over a month to get together a ~10 minute video. Only two criteria: It's all in Spanish and has to have a moral.

Today, after days of trying to get us all together, we go over to someone's house and ofc every damn time I tried to be serious, everyone would goof off and nothing would get done. Repeat for about 5 hours. We got some 20 minutes of shitty footage, not even done so we have to do this AGAIN tomorrow.

Now I've got a ton of work to do now that I'm back home since I literally wasted 5 hours of my life.

That happens all the time to me as well. That's why I prefer group work that I can do all by myself if people decide to be dicks and not do anything. That way I know it's decent as well, and not crap like all of these idiots at school spew out because they don't care about their futures and decide to ruin others by not caring as well.

I hate group activities like that as well. Having to cooperate with people and rely on them to actually show up is really stressful. On that note, so yesterday I got a part in the script I wrote. Well, three actresses decided not to show up at all today, which is fine I can understand if something happened. Turns out one of them got in a fight, and is now suspended from school for 10 days. I'm still not sure about the other two, but I really hope they show up I need my final grade in that class.

I have a faint memory of having a group discussion here about group work....

In other news, I found this in today's newspaper here where I live:

This is just weird shit.... I mean clearly.. Manga cartoons!... they also said that they were bringing topics like 'Gandam Ace'... Gandam...

mass procastinating with group dynamics ... caught in the middle ... impossible to defend.

It's good as long as they don't follow up on what the rest of the manga world is a little too early I guess..

Harr harr...
Wasrunning late from school again....
Glad they've managed to clean the roads around here so cycled to school, and managed to get from home to school under 5 min xD

Had to go and put air in the tires on lunch break. Now it is bit lighter to cycle.
Topped 40kmph speed when coming back to school.
Hum, hum...
Only 25 more to go and we can go cycling together.  ;D

Because we can!

Good luck bro.

I myself have yet to tell my 10 years divorced mother who I've been living with for those 10 years that I've decided to move in with my dad when I turn 18. That should be fun.

Hot damn o_o Those aren't wasps, are they?
Still, how soon can you call an exterminator?

My day was pretty good, till afterschool. Got slightly upset over something, and then had to film my group project again (2 to 6! asdfghj). Luckily we finished this time, but I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck with editing it for when it's due on Monday.

So much for pay it forward day... all I was able to do was buy my friend a candy bar. Lol. I think tomorrow I will leave nice, motivational quotes in people's notebooks. I have no money to donate or buy people things .-.

in other news, some stupid ex drama today. I told him once and for all to leave me alone. Why are people so dense sometimes?

You actually want to pay it forward? Really?
Turns out there are some decent people in this world.

I also spent the last hour helping my sister pick clothing for her going out.
